Chapter 20

I don't know if Luke is mad at me or not, but after he left that morning, we never met again and today he should have returned to England, he only answered my question last night coldly.

Should I call him? He must be at the airport.

But what if he ignores my call?

I don't need to do this, we agreed not to put feelings in this matter.

Sarah, what's wrong with you? Why do I need to feel uncomfortable being treated like this by him?

"Sarah, are you in there?" I heard Rosie's voice calling me before she opened my bedroom door, she had never been like that before.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to know about your plan and Luke?" Rosie said before sitting on my bed.

"Up until now, everything has been going well, why?"

"I shouldn't have looked into the Smith family but I was curious enough and I found this," Rosie showed me a picture, it was a file that she scanned but I didn't understand what the file was.

“What is that?”

“This is the list of the Smith family’s inheritan

    Chapter 21After trying to forget the memories with Arthur, it felt harder than I imagined, even every time I forgot him I only remembered him and the memories appeared more often in my head.How could it not be? The memories he built to make me submit to him were indeed very perfect, but it was so disgusting if I imagine it now.That stupid girl, I wanted to curse her in front of her face, but that was me, me who used to admit how stupid I was.That day Rosie didn't go to work, she was at home and busy cleaning the entire room after making breakfast for me, the girl was quite diligent, or maybe because she was still young? Ah, not really."Have you eaten?""Yes, I had breakfast first because I wanted to clean up," Rosie said.I saw the girl going here and there with a vacuum cleaner in her hand, the TV was also on so I could watch it, but this time Rosie didn't watch the news, she watched all the variety shows, that kid is unpredictable.Just finished washing my dirty dishes, I saw R

    Chapter 22Walking into the building, some people there greeted me, bowed their bodies, and welcomed me warmly, I never imagined it would be this easy to get back what I lost before.Mr. Derick walked beside me he is the owner of the company, and I am just someone who is tasked with helping him, let's call me his daughter. He is Mary's best friend, Derick was willing to help me after I told him everything and mentioned Mary's name in front of him, their ages seemed not much different, I could see the worry on Derick's face every time I mentioned Mary's name.The man took me to the 52nd floor where his room was and my room would be later because I would work with him so we would always be seen together. Seeing him was like seeing my father, ah I miss him so much, it's been a long time since I came to his grave.Derick took me into his room, the place was really big and clean, with a large window right behind his desk. The whole city seemed to be visible from there.“Sit down, I don’t n

    Chapter 23“What makes you think you can take me away just like that? And how did you know I worked there? I didn’t even tell you anything, and why did you come to see me? I thought we were done and you could go back to your wife,”Luke just stared at me at that time, we were at a restaurant for lunch, and he hadn’t opened his mouth since earlier, just staring at me like that.“I was very busy when I went back to England, that’s why I couldn’t contact you, and I didn’t know if our relationship was over,” Luke said.“Excuse me, our relationship? There’s nothing between us, I mean what happened between us I think it’s over since you wanted to go back to your wife,”“Didn’t I say I needed your help too?” Luke said.“For what? Just to make her jealous?”“I’ll tell you when the time comes, how are you? And why did you suddenly work at that company?” Luke said.“As you can see, I’m amazing, and of course, this is part of the plan, but I also need this job, how did you know I work here?”“Fr

    Chapter 24 Back home after a tiring day, my first day at work was much more surprising than I had imagined, especially since Luke suddenly came out of nowhere. Entering the penthouse and smelling the delicious aroma from the kitchen, it must be Rosie preparing dinner, it's been a long time since I ate her cooking, and I can't lie if her cooking is delicious and suits my taste. "Are you home?" Rosie turned to me, she was wearing an apron on her body to protect her clothes from oil. I didn't answer her and just sat on the island chair, supporting my chin with my hand while looking at Rosie's back who was busy with the cooking in front of her. "How was your first day at work? Jodie asked how you were, he said you were hard to contact lately," Rosie said. "Really? I don't think I'm that busy, I'm just—" "Waiting for news from that guy?" Rosie cut me off, she turned around with the pan in her hand and placed the carbonara pasta with grilled chicken on top of my plate before looking

    Chapter 25 I woke up late because Arthur woke me up last night, I rushed to go and saw Rosie at the dining table but with her plate empty, it seemed like she had just finished breakfast, her eyes were a little puffy but I didn't have time to ask, I just took a sip of milk in her glass before leaving. I didn't even have time to dress up and just tied my hair with a clip, I took one of Mary's cars in the basement. When I stopped at a red light I tried to put a little make-up on my face especially lipstick on my lips so I didn't look pale, I didn't have time to take a shower and only washed my face and brushed my teeth. This was indeed not a good day for me, I haven't even had time to study the material in today's meeting. I took the time to stop by the drive-thru coffee shop to order a hot latte as usual and make sure I wasn't late. When I arrived at the office I immediately brought my coffee cup and my bag, I kept hearing the ringing on my phone but I ignored it because I had to

    Chapter 26I also don't know why I'm here now, I came to the address Arthur gave me and stood in front of someone's unit.Of course, I still had a chance to save myself before everything got even more chaotic, but I couldn't, my feet couldn't move from there, I pressed the bell and waited for who would open the door for me.The door opened and I saw Arthur there, was this his other property? Why did he bring me here?"Come in," Arthur said and I immediately went inside without hesitation, but I was quite surprised to see the room empty, it seemed like a new unit that Arthur bought, did he buy this unit just to trap me?That's right, he's a murderer I should have thought of that before I came here, my heart was going crazy, my mind was quite confused and I became a little scared. I hoped I could seduce him and make him forget about the plan to kill me if that's what he was thinking."Why did you ask me to come here?" I walked towards the large window, I could see the whole city from th

    Chapter 27 It should have been my turn after 10 years, I thought Sarah was dead in that prison, but it seems she was just hiding, I'm sick of myself like this, how could I almost fall for his words, hearing all his words as if he was saying the right thing but I know he just wanted to fool me again. knock…knock… "Come in," Rosie must have come to invite me to dinner, the door opened and her face appeared there, she didn't say anything at that time just standing in front of my door. "What's wrong? Is dinner ready?" "No, I'm not cooking tonight, can we have dinner outside? I want to eat seafood on the beach," Rosie said. Suddenly her request confused me, because she never invited me like this, where was the cold Rosie? Did something happen to her? Maybe I should ask Jodie about this. “Yeah sure, I’ll change my clothes first,” Rosie just nodded before closing my bedroom door, actually, I also wanted to ask her something, I found her eyes puffy this morning and I’m sure she’s bee

    Chapter 28 I woke up from my sleep with a strong decision, I don't know why I could be this stupid, I know I'm entering the same game, and I let myself get too into it, I won't let Arthur win this game again, regardless of what he told me, he is still the reason for my misery. 10 years should have been more than enough for me to hate him, all the memories he built for me were just a momentary illusion, all of that never existed, only I made it seem real Arthur was never a real man for me, he was just a loser, he was just a man who always looked down on every woman. Making other people his scapegoats and making his victims feel guilty for mistakes they never made, that's Arthur. "Hi Sarah, what's up?" Luke said I called him when I got to my office. “Hi, we should meet, we have a lot to talk about,” “Okay I’ll pick you up at lunch, I’ll meet Brie first, she asked me to meet her,” Luke said. “What? No!” “No? What do you mean?” Luke said. “No, don’t meet her, I’m your fiancé, wha

    Chapter 40 “You should have told me if you wanted to go to your father’s grave,” Luke said as he sat across from me with the lunch he prepared for me and Rosie. But Rosie chose to eat in her room because she was working on something, and it seemed like she hadn’t come back to work. “I didn’t intend to go there either, I just wanted to see Mary but for some reason, I remembered my father and decided to go there,” “How do you feel?” Luke said. “What? What about my feelings?” “You must miss your father, right?” Luke said. “Yeah, but not that much, I was just thinking about how he would react if he was still alive and found out his daughter did something stupid by choosing that bastard as my husband,” “You weren’t stupid then, but if you got back with him after what he did to you, that would be stupid,” Luke said. “What about Brie? Does she still contact you?” “She seems to be seeing Arthur lately, I feel like there’s something they’re doing behind our backs, or maybe

    Chapter 39 Finally, I returned to that place, the place where I lived for 10 years without knowing why I was punished. There was only hatred and thousands of questions in my head, why me? And why did he do all that to me? The person I thought would be the person I could rely on the most, turned out to be the one who destroyed me the most. "Red hair," Mary's voice surprised me, breaking the chaotic thoughts in my head. The old woman entered the room with the black cardigan she always wore, her face still looked beautiful only a little pale, maybe she was worried about the punishment she would receive. "What made you come here? Is it because of Derick?" Mary said before she sat in front of me. I just stared at her at that time, for some reason I felt very miserable seeing this old woman in front of me, she even punished herself, would I do the same thing after successfully taking revenge on Arthur? “I will not sign over all your assets, they are yours and I have no right to receiv

    Chapter 38 “Morning Sarah,” I heard Rosie’s voice and slowly opened my eyes, my room was already filled with sunlight, and she was standing right in front of me, which was unusual. “Morning,” “I made you a sandwich and juice, I’ll put it here, Luke said he stayed at Derick’s last night so he’ll come to see you today, I have to go to work now, and… I’m sorry about my behavior yesterday,” Rosie said. I didn’t even get up and process what she said but the girl just left, I slept too late thinking about our conversation. Her mother is my stepmother and she is my stepsister? No no, she’s not my sister because her mother is not my mother but still, after all this time I thought I had no one left it turns out I still have a family and it’s her. I sat on my bed leaning against the headboard and grabbed my phone from the nightstand, checking if Luke had contacted me or whoever it was and yeah I saw a few messages from Luke and Clara that’s it. Arthur just disappeared, but Clara sa

    Chapter 37 This is crazy!!! This is crazy and I think I can win this time by using Clara, somehow I feel like Clara also has a certain intention when she approaches me. It's just that I can't see what's in her head. "And one more thing, I should have done this myself and not involve anyone but I don't have that much room to find out," Clara said. "What is it?" "I think Arthur is cheating on me behind my back, lately his behavior has been strange and he always comes home late at night, I remember about the apartment he showed you, even until now he hasn't said anything about that unit," Clara said. Gotcha!!! "Clara, I've been trying to deny my thoughts but honestly hearing everything you said today about you and Arthur I think I need to be honest with you too," "Be honest about what?" Clara said. "I also felt the same way when you guys came to my wedding, Arthur looked different and he was busy with his phone, I don't think anyone is that busy when they're with their partner r

    Chapter 36Rosie didn't come back that day, and her number couldn't be reached either, Jodie said she didn't come to the restaurant, and he asked me to report to the police if Rosie was missing. But why does it feel so heavy, even Luke didn't stop looking for Rosie, everyone was looking for her except me."Sarah, what's bothering you?" Luke said, he approached me to the balcony with two cups of hot coffee in his hands and gave me one."Nothing, I just don't know why but it seems like Rosie is avoiding me,""Avoiding you? What do you mean? Did you guys fight? I've asked you many times but you said—""Yes because I don't have a problem with her, she even looked fine before she left, I'm just confused because she doesn't look like someone who wants to run away from home, she left all her stuff in her room, and strangely when I wanted to ask her something, at that moment she suddenly disappeared,""Something? What is it?" Luke said.“I don’t want to say this because I don’t know myself, b

    Chapter 35 My eyes opened when I heard the phone ringing, I slept very soundly last night, and I even woke up with a smile on my face even though the phone ringing startled me. I didn't feel Luke's touch, maybe he had woken up first because I saw the curtains open and sunlight entering our room. The blanket covered my body, I knew I was naked at that time and I just smiled when I remembered what happened last night. I forgot the phone ringing on the nightstand, I sat and leaned against the headboard before taking my phone and how surprised I was when I saw who was calling me. Arthur Wood, this man wanted to trap me again.. he did everything so that I could be his victim for the second time, but I was not interested at all. I ended the call before turning off my phone, I was just about to get up from bed to clean myself when the bedroom door opened and Luke appeared there with a tray of bread and milk. “Morning Sarah, breakfast,” Luke said, how could he be so sweet, I didn’t even

    Chapter 34 The day has finally come, my wedding day with Luke, a wedding that was never planned before, a wedding that I never imagined before is now happening. I officially became Luke's wife, the man stood beside me, very handsome in his black suit, tall and very charming, maybe if I could choose I would choose him to be my husband from the start instead of that bastard. My eyes looked here and there, the guests who came were getting more and more, I didn't know who they were maybe they didn't know me either, all of them were Luke's friends and family, I didn't even think I would be introduced to his family, this was beyond my expectations. "I don't see Arthur and Clara, is it possible that they missed this party?" "No way, he even contacted you the day before our wedding," Luke said. "Do you think he's jealous of all this?" "Honestly, I think he's just trying to play with your feelings, I saw Brie earlier, where is she?" Luke said while looking here and there for Brie. “You

    Chapter 33Working with Derick made me much more confident, he gave me many new lessons in life, although 10 years in prison was also a lesson for me not to easily trust someone, especially men.I found many similarities between him and my father, his presence near me made me feel like I was near my father, I couldn't know because my father was dead, but it was true when he treated me like his daughter."Why are you still here? Stop working on all those files, it's time for a break, let's have lunch together," Derick suddenly entered my room, I didn't even realize that it was lunchtime because I was too busy doing my assignment."Oh I forgot the time, okay, I'll tidy it up first,""I'll wait for you in the lobby," Derick said and I just nodded with a smile as he went towards the elevator.I checked my phone, and saw some messages from Arthur and Luke, as well as Jodie. I wonder why that bastard still contacted me, even after I ignored him, he probably thought I was easy to seduce and
